Santa has Them Bones too, or so in grunge, says Alice, and thus lifts her Chains like the old ghost seen by Scrooge. Lit up, to again lift up, using their very pale whiteness aside, like a Christmas tree. Merging holidays — sorry to Scrooge — occurring in past, present and future times. But for now, and to forego any more word-like Reindeer-Like Games, its Father Christmas! (And at the end is new info, seasonally sanctioned song stuff.)

There still are and were several Santas seen, some on the more secularly sinister and not sacred side. Seriously. But […]

The grocery store lines are way back — like getting offsale or into that hit music club — almost to the produce aisle end, and so you keep switching, and shifting … Swerve to self-serve? Maybe need to stay put, just like choosing not to lane-hop on a backed-up freeway, as you are approaching That Last Sitting Still Car. (Or shopping cart.) And you thought Black Friday was bad? Back In Black? —– Or in Purple, after many years, but at Ziggy’s it was zeros after the first quarter, so yikes for Vikes! See Picks Of The Week.

This is a story that everyone can clearly understand. Between being stuck, literally, with a new nursing home stay and countless cases of Covid, (now more added, though the pink line only gets lighter), there almost was more than being stuck in traffic, no Home For The Holidays at all. The quagmire brought on by quarantine, in addition. But at least we got the buttoned-up elevator to work, so one less snag in transport.

Big bar flannel-flawed Wednesday night led to Thanksgiving, then to Black Friday, then Small Business Saturday, then Native American Heritage Day, then Cyber Monday as the start of online Cyber Week. Got all that you seasoned holiday veteran? We hope you didn’t leave behind your wallet — or be so stuffed with turkey you couldn’t haul it out. —– And all this begat a kick-off-the-season snowmo event at the GasLite.

You have friends, right? Not just family. And liked watching Friends. So Friendsgiving might be the holiday for you on Thursday, or at some point during the rest of the month, and you’ve got a week to play with. Following (now up-to-the-minute-or-hour stats) a win by the usually punchless, Packers(5-6)/Lions(8-3) in classic holiday grid action. So for a late MNF Friendsgiving, some Turgooseduckenhen? (Wording well chosen, see below, and check inside for another follow-up.)

It’s more fun than a barrel full of monkeys, being also a (wheel) barrel (or is it right to say barrow or borrow, but you can’t give it back), packed full of booze! This charitable benefit can also benefit you, to lead off what’s known as Deer Hunter’s Eve, starting with the weekend, for all those other dears on a temporary “widowed” hunt by the huntresses. What a Gas(Lite) on Saturday afternoon!

Eat (like) the rich, but are we in a recession yet? Not having fun yet. (These days, you could not party on, as even Wayne and Garth could barely buy a Busch.) Just ask the hyper-stressed workers who help those on low-income, or fixed income, or no income, manning those (multiple?) phones while trying to find time to deliver numerous goods and raise funds all at the same time. Also cry in their (cheap) beer? (In an added facet to this report, I’ll now describe Hudson’s new homeless.) And I add on again today.

Bar math is fun, but unless done during the week itself, can be “taxing,” so don’t wait until the weekend to assess your financial means, or even credit card limit(s). So here’s a (precise and detailed) local breakdown of pro-football-special big beer in pitchers vs. buckets of bottles, and how to get the best bang for your buck. —– All this might save you enough so you can tip really well! And on and off, I’ve been schooled on such by fave servers. Like last night …

Before the recent snow comes a last rain. Hey, am I OCD obsessed with umbrellas, and how they fix the fickle weather? So made a quip. As people quickened their pace and zipped up their sweatshirts, as the showers grew steady. So can’t catch a break in the rain if your car is on the other end of the lot. Especially if hitting the Home Depot — then Menards further down — across the driveway too. Buy and then come back with Hoodies also? —– And in Picks of the Week, see the best ways, basically same-block, with food and such, to take in some football!
